Import Tips
• - Ensure all components match in fabric construction, color, and size with retail packaging to qualify as ensemble
• - Document ski-intent via design (e.g
• footstraps, padding); pitfall is separate import of pieces classified as individual garments
• - Provide mill certificates for cashmere purity to meet 'fine animal hair' and avoid higher duties on blends
